Video shows woman driving wrong way on Quebec highway moments before she crashed into two vehicles

An elderly woman brazenly travelling the wrong way on a Quebec highway passed dozens of cars and “even started to accelerate” moments before she caused a serious multi-vehicle crash Monday.

The moments before the crash were filmed by Cédric Gaudet — who was in a car travelling in the same direction, but on the opposite side of Highway 930 in Candiac Monday evening.

Gaudet’s friend followed the woman, who is reportedly 76-years-old, for about two kilometres. At one point, Gaudet stuck his head out of the sunroof of his friends car and yelled, “Hey.” But she ignored him. Other vehicles also reportedly flashed their lights and honked their horn.

“I made eye contact with her, but she didn’t seemed bothered by it at all,” Gaudet told the CBC.

“She didn’t seem to react. She even started to accelerate.”

The woman’s car crashed into two other vehicles at about 7:10 p.m., shortly after Gaudet stopped filming. The two other drivers — reportedly a 61-year-old man and a 35-year-old man — were taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Photos of the scene show crumpled vehicles strewn along the highway.

The driver was in critical condition after the crash, but has since stabilized, Quebec provincial police said.

The Sûreté du Québec is investigating the crash and have reviewed the video posted online. Police do not yet know why the woman was driving on the wrong side of the highway, or how fast she was travelling.

It’s too soon to say what — if any — charges will be laid, police said.
